THE Saturday Revieao, published
at South Hutchinson, by G. G. Easley,
is one of the neatest papers that comes
to our tables, and is worker for the
interests of its town.
BECAUSE you don't see half the
farmers in the county on our streets
two OF three times in a week, don't
think business is bad or times are dull.
Times are rushing with the farmer,
and the farmers are the backbone of
the land.
AT THE democratic convention held
at Larned ON the 18th inst, John T.
Henderson was nominated for sheriff.
AS there appears to be split in the
republican ranks OH ther candidate,
DeMOss, Mr.. Henderson stands a fair
show for election.
Col. II. INMAN telegraphed to Z. i.
Chapman that the Ellsworth well
struck gas at depth of 1920 feet, in
Trenton rock-pressure increasing rap
idly-fames five feet" This is good
news and should act as a stimulant to
our people here to go ahead with our
prospecting well.
"a great many OF our subscriptions
which were dew i'll advance are as yet
unpaid. d.'-HoiSingtOn Echo.
All, THERE, Mr.. Echo, we fear you
have given yourself away badly. If
your subscription were s'deW" they
probably have ere this arisen on the
ambient air and perchance have settled
down like flock of brants in the mid
die of the Cheyenne bottoms. Some
day you may gather i'll these subscrip-
tions which were ''dew," from the
broad Cheyenne plains" in the shape
of vigorous malaria.
Two MEN enter grocery store
with thirty eggs each. The grocery
hpan agrees TO pay one at the rate Of
one cent for two eggs, and the other,
one cent for three eggs. 1t is clear
that he pays one man fifteen cents for
his eggs, and the other, ten cents. A
man came in for eggs and the grocery
man says, Il will sell you these eggs at
the rate | bought them, that is five for
two cents" They are sold and it is
plain they only brought twenty-four
cents. The grocery man lost one cent
i'll the transaction. How did this oc-

IT SHOULD be the duty of every eiti-

effort to entertain all strangers who
may come among us. An exhibition of
sociability and friendly interest will go

seeding for another crop, the town
man or woman WhG viii draw his or
herself into a.shell and assume gloomy
Indifference to surroundings, should be
drummed out of the town.

They say they have a corporation
''that don't want the earth, above and
below" The rates for gas are as fol-
2nd heater 65c, each additional one
4Oc, per month. These rates are based
OF months Use, or from Oct. lst to
May ist. For illuminating purposes
per month per jet for offices and stores.
These rates are certainly within the
reach OF all parties, and should we get
natural gas here there viii be l,o reason
why the same fatrs could not be made.
THE press of the country, voicing the
sentiments of all true American citi-
Zens, is cOinciding with the action of
the Supreme Court of Ills, in affirming
the Judgment of the lower court In
sentencing the Chicago anarchists
10 be hung and one to be imprisoned
for life. The only objection that is be-
